As a preliminary experiment to investigate the effect of ozone sterelization on the ginseng powder, the changes of fatty acid composition and organic acid content and sensory properties in ginseng powder treated with ozone was investigated. Ginseng powder was treated with 0.5 ppm ozone for 24 hours and 48 hours, respectively. With increase in ozone treatment time, the content of crude lipid and increase. Contents of unsaturated fatty acid-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, and oleic acid, etc.-decreased with ozone treatment time, whereas saturated fatty acid or same number-stearic acid-increased odor, bitter taste, roasted taste and sweet taste were thiner with ozone treatment times, but pungent taste was thicker with those treatment. These changes of ordors and tastes of ginseng powder with ozone treatment were predicted by oxydation of lipids, flavor components and saponins.

+To prove uniqueness of allylic alcohol formation from ${\alpha},{\beta}-unsaturated$ ketones by mammal enzymes, a metabolic pattern of dehydroparadols, non-pungent synthetic analogs of shogaol by Aspergillus niger was examined. Two biotransformation products of a dehydroparadol, 1-(4hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-non-1-en-3-one were accumulated in the culture broth of A. niger. They were characterized as 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-non-1-en-9-01-3-one and 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-nonan-9-o1-3-one by UV, NMR and mass spectroscopic analyses. Accumulation of allylic alcohol metabolites was not observed.

The fermented black tea with tea fungus (FBTF) was prepared by culturing tea fungus biomass in black tea with 10% sucrose (BT) at 30$\circ$ for 14 days. The flavor quality of FBTF was investigated by sensory and chemical analysis, and the results were compared with BT. The data of sensory analysis indicated that fruity, wine-like, sharp-pungent, and vinegar-like flavor notes were increase, while earthy note was reduced during fermentation. GC-MS analysis of volatile compounds collected from FBTF and BT by Tenax trap showed that linalool, liinalool oxide other flavor compounds known as black tea flavor compounds were disappeared. Some major flavor compounds produced during fermentation were acetic acid, ethanol, limonene, $\alpha$-terpineol, and these volatiles may be attributed to the flavor of characteristic FBTF. Biosynthetic pathway for the formation of limonene and $\alpha$-terpineol are proposed through mevalonic acid pathway using acetic acid as precusor and/or through transformation of linalool and linalool oxide.

Shogaol, one of the main pungent principles of the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, Roscoe, was biodegraded by Aspergillus niger to produce two main metabolites. The crystalline metabolite obtained after silicic acid column chromatography was proved to be 1-(4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenyl)decan-10-ol-3-one. The oily metabolite obtained after prolonged fermentation was 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-decan-3, 10-diol. The results suggest that shogaol should be biodegraded to 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-dec-4-en-10-ol-3-one or to 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-decan-3-one, and to 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-decan-10-ol-3-one then to 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-decan-3, 10-diol and finally to carbon dioxide and water.

Piperine (piperinoyl-piperidine) is a nitrogenous pungent substance contained in black pepper. the well know spice obtained from Piper nigrum L. (Piperaceae). Pharmacological studies have shown that piperine reduces inflammation and pain. possesses anticonvulsant and antiulcer activity. protects the liver and has deleterious effects on testis function. Prostaglandins(PGs) are a family of intercellular and intracellular messengers derived from arachidonic acid(AA) by phospholipase(PL) and cyclooxygenase(COX). (omitted)

Capsaicin. the pungent component of chili pepper. opens a novel cation selective ion channel in the plasma membrane of peripheral sensory neurons. Capsaicin channel agonists induce pain upon topical application in the early stage. which is followed by a period of desensitization. Although the agonists have been studied as a analgesics, their initial irritancy became sever side effect. So competive antagonists have been pursued as a novel pharmacological agent for analgesics, rather than agonists. (omitted)

Women with the premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) report increased cravings for certain foods and altered taste preferences ding the premenstrual period. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association of PMDD with luteal phase food cravings, appetite, and taste preferences in 1,078 nurses. Among the 626 nurses who gave valid responses, the prevalence of PMDD and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) was 4.6% (N = 29) and 78.3% (N = 490), respectively. A highly significant increase was observed in the preference for sweet tasting foods during the luteal phase, compared to the follicular phase. Desire for sweet foods during the premenstrual period was significantly different among the three groups, being highest in the PMDD group, lower in the PMS group, and lowest in women with no symptoms. Both the PMDD and PMS groups showed significant increases in preferences for pungent tasting foods during the luteal phase. A repeated measures of analysis of variance on the taste preference data revealed that the desire for sweet tasting foods was significantly greater than for others such as salty, sour, and pungent tastes. A greater proportion of the subjects in the PMDD and PMS groups reported an increase in their total food intake during the luteal phase, compared to those women without premenstrual symptoms. Compared to the PMS group or the women with no symptoms, the PMDD group reported increased intakes of high carbohydrate foods during the luteal phase. The most commonly reported food cravings were for sauteed spicy rice cakes (ddukbokki), or for cold buckwheat noodles mixed in chili pepper sauce. These results indicate that the luteal phase food cravings, appetite and taste preferences change in accordance with the severity of the premenstrual symptoms.

Background: The recent outbreak of the novel strain of influenza A (H1N1) virus has raised a global concern of the future risk of pandemic. Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM) has been combatting against contagious diseases and developed its own particular and efficient way in treating those diseases. Objectives: Provide a distinctive and effective TKM method in understanding the principles of treatment, prevention, and contraindications against influenza A through case histories. Method: We revised case histories of eminent doctors of Ming and Qing dynasties according to their clinical manifestations similar to those of influenza A. We also verified prescriptions of the "Dong-uibogam(東醫寶鑑)" through examining clinical practices of China today. Results: 1. The subtypes of Warm disease; Wind Warmth and Pestilence has the most similar clinical manifestation in comparison to Influenza A. Specifying these terms is important in recognizing and classifying various diseases under the name of Warm disease. 2. TKM considered not only external factors but also individual factors like general condition, diet, emotion, constitutional types, etc in the treatment of febrile diseases. 3. TKM developed a new way in the treatment of contagious diseases. considering the characteristics of each pathogen. TKM described the Warm pathogen being light as a feather, which enters through the nose, principally affecting the Lung. Therefore, they emphasized treatment with Pungent Sweet Cooling Moistening[辛甘凉潤] method. 4. As the conservation of fluid and humor is the primordial concern in the treatment of Warm disease, they restricted release of the exterior with pungent-warm and purgation method. The purgation methods was used exclusively to decrease fever and preserve fluid and humor. 5. The only differentiating characteristics of Influenza A with seasonal influenza are vomiting and diarrhea. Case research revealed the possibility of these manifestations to be a mechanism of restoration. 6. TKM provides alimento prevention method like Mint Pear Porridge, mung bean, and etc also combination of herbal medicine. Also emphasized in the conservation of essence for the prevention of contagious diseases. Conclusions: TKM developed its unique way in understanding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of contagious diseases and formed its independent scheme of Warm Disease. This knowledge in febrile contagious disease is relevant today in providing diverse treatment and prevention for influenza A.
